I just tested it myself. Disabled the mobile network and enabled my wifi network. Email won't send. However other option is sign in to an emails web based service and send emails that way, but it won't be through the phone like normal but rather a website.

VS THIS...


"I do it all the time. I have an UMA device set to wifi preferred. When I'm within wifi range as I am now, everything is on wifi. Just to demonstrate, I've turned off mobile network to post this. Yes, it is the blackberry browser, but take my word for it that all blackberry data, including email, BBM, PIN, twitter .... everything BIS works on wifi.

CONFUSES ME....
here are questions:

1) can you use email services via wifi without entering the net (webmail)?
2) can you use bbm over wifi?
Try re-sending service books. See How do I resend my service books? - BlackBerryFAQ.

I'm not sure that is going to correct your problem using blackberry data apps over wifi with mobile network off, but it's all I can think of. Otherwise, call customer service and ask. But as Draven says, there is nothing to set.
